    My shipping address not formatting properly on a US site. Only realised after I got the order confirmation that it's incomplete - only half of line 1 and no line 2.

    Quite difficult to contact them as well. No phone number online. Eventually found an email address and contacted them so fingers crossed.

    Wondering is it me. My housemate was so shocked.

    My folks are going to help me buy a place. I really can't do this anymore.

    Renting can be so difficult ng. I'm glad you were able to patch things up with your mam. I remember you posting about feeling unloved by her and thought that was tough going.


    My TA is very very first world. I left the electric blanket on too long.

    If you're turning 39 then you're in your 40th year. When I turned 29 my mother kept telling me I was in my 30th year, very annoying. I plan to get my revenge when she turns 59 in May :D

    I love doing that to people who are turning 29,39,49.. it freaks them out!!

    No, I'll never let her in my life again. It's part of the sale of the house from their marriage breakdown. If she won't cover what she's promised my dad has said he will. If she doesn't it won't surprise me.

    Yep, that is probably the increase in VAT that kicked in on 'hospitality' this year.

    Our canteen increased their prices "due to the VAT increase". Strangely enough, the increase was actually higher than the extra VAT. I wonder how many other companies/hotels/restaurants etc pull off the same stunt, blaming the increase solely on VAT?

    Ours did the same, we did a quick calculation and they actually rounded down slightly on the prices.

    They normally are penny pinching so-and-so's.

    Most places would take advantage of such a rise.

    Went to the dentist with a problem tooth. While there he has a good poke around with the ice pick on my other teeth. Now one of the other teeth has a problem because he just couldn't leave well enough alone.....

    My coffee yesterday excluding VAT was €2.75. Today my coffee excluding VAT was €3.
    Increase blamed entirely on VAT on the big notice they had in the shop.

    €3 to €3.40 including VAT.

    We had him on speaker. I said I'd do it cause I believe in making the call. It's broken twice in 3 weeks. Sort it out mate. She heard every word and was appalled. Waiting for a call now to be chucked out.

    So threshold said I'm totally unprotected as I'm there less than 6 months. Super.

    TA’d that you’re actually worried you’ll be kicked out because you called your landlord about a broken washing machine. What kind of country is this if you can be kicked out over something that’s the landlord’s responsibility to sort? :mad:

    This morning my daughter was too aggressive opening a box of Cheerio's and half the box went all over the floor. Took ages to get them all up.
    Then my bottle of maple syrup slipped out of my hands while taking out of the fridge. Sticky glass everywhere.


    So I had to sweep the floor twice, mop the floor twice and eat a pancake without any syrup on it. My coffee also went cold through all this.

    Off topic but if you are not sure of your landlord you look after everything yourself for the first 6 mths until you have some rights.

    In this case I would get a washing machine myself. You will pick up one for free if you keep your ear to the ground.

    I'd just turn around & go back to bed after that.

    I think I said it below but idiots in the airport again this morning. If the conveyor belt at secuirity is full of trays, put some in the return slot and hey presto room for more to come down. Starring forlornly back towards scanner isn't going to achieve anything.

    Yes one may have to pick up an empty that was someone elses however so what.

    First they came for the socialists...

    Those fecking cough bottle ads on tv over winter time. Those fecking heart burn ads too. Oh just take this cough bottle and your terrible cough will go away, take one Rennie and your heartburn will go away. I have a constant chronic cough and will do for the rest of my life. I also have severe acid reflux and a hiatus hernia so puke at least several times a week due to it. And if I hear one more person complain that they have a sniffle or a cough I will kill them :D

    Then they'd be right in saying that their cough or heartburn or sniffles were deadly, you see?

    No, you're right. I've no rights at all but I can't afford a washing machine and to me it goes against paying for a service that was advertised.

    That new RTE newsreader with the northern accent.
    Sometimes hard to understand what she's saying, such as when she says 'site' for south, or 'Leinster hice' for Leinster house. There's also a northern accented one on the radio who tells us that "There'll be generally a lot of clide [cloud] in the site [south] followed by shires [showers]."
    Also when northerners say 'wee' instead of small. :(

    At the weekend, the trolley bay had no trollies in it. Some chap (who was being encouraged by what I assume was his partner) was too lazy to walk around a parked car and was trying to stretch the chain across the barrier to the trolley


    images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSJX0OmObRjp9JsItX_fIuT3pbJqc-D1oFoaC4vdTpLxOwI2WJa
    ^^^^ So he was here trying to insert the yokie into the trolley to get his euro back.


    F*cker, do you not realise that:
    1) It's designed to not to that
    2) chains are not stretchy
    3) anyone else that wants to leave a trolley there is f*cked
    4) you are a f*cking jackas$$
    5) your misses is an ignorant geebag as well for encouraging you

    I find there's no point in telling these types of people what total t!ts they are.

    My TA is people who complain about other regional accents. Do you want us all to sound exactly the same? Virtually every Irish person has an accent, some easier to understand than others, granted. I generally find the northern accents very interesting and enjoyable to listen to, even the harsher ones.

    I have a strong Derbyshire accent, even after 30 years of living in Cork (I love the pure Cork accent too!). Why should I, or anyone else, change the way they speak just because certain people don't like it?
